Dude, that's like saying "America Rule The World" just because the country has more than 1 person living in it. We're talking about 1 single band, with a singular name, Slayer, Not SlayerS, Slayer. It's "rules" man, face it.

clashman
or maybe you just havta face facts that americans cannot speak the english language properly

clashman
its just the name of the band they still are for ppl. wat about band with "the" in their name? you wouldn't say the ramones rules or the ramones is great! its the exact same. its not proper english! it all comes from america. the world is too americanised these days!

paramonflows
for the ramones, you WOULD say the ramones rule, only because their band name (name that represents them) is plural.

clashman
its still the same thing man they are for ppl. weather or not the word slayer is singurlar on not simmes the point that we're still talking about four ppl. its not correct english to talk about a band as singular!sure the word "band" is plural!

paramonflows
i guess you might be right
its just.. saying slayer rules instead of slayer rule just feels/sounds better to say. thats all

clashman
it is pretty much a pointless arguement. and ur right in 1 thing. paramon are shit!

Re: Slayer Rule или Rules. Кто прав-то?

It's one of the differences between BrEng and AmEng. In AmEng singular collective nouns always take singular agreement, while in BrEng they can take either singular or plural depending on context, as explained on that BBC page.
